At the Lu family, Lu Jinghuai was reading stories with Yaya in the children's room with Lin Yan when he learned the news.
Yaya just learned to call "Baba". Her old father was so excited that he left the study and just let Yaya play all night.
When he received the call, Lu Jinghuai fell silent for a rare time. Lin Yan also noticed something was wrong. She hugged the babbling Yaya into her arms and was about to get up and leave to give Lu Jinghuai some space.
Lu Jinghuai held Lin Yan's hand, and Lin Yan understood what he meant.
Does Lu Jinghuai hope that she can stay here with him?
Lin Yan did not refuse, and the family of three listened quietly to the report on the other end of the phone in the children's room.
Even Yaya quietly looked up at her parents without disturbing them until the phone hung up.
Lu Jinghuai gave Lin Yan a reassuring smile: "Everything is about to end."
Lin Yan vaguely heard what was said on the other end of the phone just now. It roughly said that Song's father had been arrested and the evidence had been submitted.
"Won't the Song family's ancestral property be sold?" Lin Yan asked.
"No." Lu Jinghuai did not hide it from Lin Yan: "Mr. Song intends to let Tang Zexing stay there, but the eldest wife of the Song family will not agree."
"It's just that the Song family helped Song's father deal with the aftermath of the Xiaoliangshan incident. Now their political enemies have seized upon them and they dare not act rashly."
As to whether it is really not advisable to act rashly or whether it is false, no one knows.
…
Song's father was not too panicked when he was taken to the police station. It had happened so long ago that he didn't think Lu Jinghuai would have any evidence against him.
However, he soon lost his composure as Grandma Lin took out the remittance slip that Song's father had given to the Xu family.
In an instant, Song's father's face turned pale. It was indeed he who arranged for people to kidnap Lu Yingqian. He originally wanted those people to sell her and get rid of her as soon as possible.
As a result, when Xu Mang saw the signs of Lu Yingqian's birth, he became greedy and took Lu Yingqian back to Xiaoliang Village.
I originally planned to keep her for two years before selling her. A fourteen-year-old girl would not be worth as much as a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.
As it happened, Lu Yingqian had a fever, which damaged her brain and she didn't know who she was.
Xu Mang raised Lu Yingqian as his own daughter. When she was seventeen or eighteen years old, Lu Yingqian was indeed a pretty girl. Xu Mang's nephew even took a fancy to her.
Xu Mang had developed feelings for Lu Yingqian and was reluctant to send her away to be ruined, so he thought of marrying her to his nephew.
Xu Mang also noticed that Song's father cared about Lu Yingqian, so he took Lu Yingqian to Song's father and asked for several sums of money.
It didn't stop until Xu Mang decided to marry Lu Yingqian to his nephew.
The last time he remitted money was four years ago. Every time he did so, Song's father was very careful. This list...
This receipt was sent by Song's mother, using the name of Song's father to remit the money. Song's mother kept the receipt that year.
A look of dejection appeared in Song's father's eyes, but he didn't give up directly. Instead, he struggled and said, "I want to see my lawyer!"
Tang Zexing came with Song's lawyer, who felt a little embarrassed when he saw Song's father.
"Mr. Song, the rumors are spreading that you murdered the Lu couple and took over Lu's business... Now everyone is saying that the Song family..."
Tang Zexing chuckled at the side, and the two looked at him at the same time: "Father, do you know what people say outside? They say the Song family is a nest of snakes and rats."
"The Song family's past accounts have all been exposed. The cooperation that originally belonged to the Lu family was transferred to the Song family after the Lu couple got into trouble."
Song froze and subconsciously looked at Song's lawyer. Song's lawyer nodded with an ugly expression on his face. With such a thing happening in the company, it would be difficult for him, as a lawyer, to find a job in the future.
"It's you!" Song's father instantly understood something and looked at Tang Zexing: "My entire future belongs to you, why are you doing this?"
Tang Zexing laughed and said, "I have never been interested in the Song family."
"Dad, do you know how my mom died? She was in the late stages of cancer and the pain was so severe she couldn't even speak, but I didn't have the money to treat her."
There was a dark look in Song's father's eyes. He saw the hatred in Tang Zexing's eyes. He felt a little regretful. He shouldn't have brought his son back. Tang Zexing was an ungrateful person who could never be tamed.
"Even if I did what happened to Lu Yingqian, what does the Lu couple have to do with me? Lu Jinghuai has no evidence." Song's father tried to calm himself down.
"There is indeed no physical evidence, but there is a witness, your wife. Mrs. Song seems to hate you a little."
Mrs. Song, Mother Song, Lin Zhi.
In an instant, a look of dejection appeared on Song's father's face. He looked at Tang Zexing in front of him and suddenly smiled.
"What role did you play in this?" Song's father finally remembered that it was Tang Zexing who first sent Song's mother to the nursing home and then visited her.
Tang Zexing did not answer Song's father's question.
…
The collapse of the Song Mansion happened almost instantly. Song's mother accused Song's father of murdering her best friend and her husband many years ago.
Song's mother said that she had become mentally unstable because of this reason.
Song's father did not make any argument, nor did he even accuse Song's mother.
Song's mother didn't use any of the excuses she had prepared.
The trial of Song's father's case ended less than a week after the evidence was proven, and there was not even any response from the Song family's ancestral estate.
The verdict for Song's father came down, life imprisonment. Song's father is already over fifty years old, and there will be no chance of a reduction in sentence. He will probably stay here for the rest of his life.
When he came out of the court, Lu Jinghuai looked at the bright sunshine outside and felt inexplicably complicated.
"What will happen to Song's mother?" Lin Yan asked Lu Jinghuai. Lu Jinghuai sneered: "Since she is pretending to be mentally ill, let her keep pretending."
Without the Song family's protection, the mental hospital would not be much better than a prison.
As for the Song family, it was in chaos. Tang Zexing disappeared on the day the verdict came out, and no one knew where he went.
Later, Wen Linglan called Lin Yan to ask once, but Lin Yan was unable to give Wen Linglan an answer.
Wen Linglan on the other side of the phone was silent for a long time, and finally just said thank you.
After everything was settled, Grandma Lin was about to go back. Before leaving, the old lady once again held Lu Jinghuai's hand and said, "My child, I am sorry for you."
Lu Jinghuai finally said, "Grandma, this has nothing to do with you."
Grandma Lin was in tears. This time when she came to Beicheng, she was more than ten years older. She probably wouldn't have the chance to come to Beicheng again in the future.
After watching Grandma Lin's train leave, Lin Yan asked Lu Jinghuai, "Why is Mother Song willing to testify? Shouldn't she and Father Song be on the same page?"
Lu Jinghuai paused and said, "Because the Lin family's grandmother promised her to take her back to Huaicheng after everything is over, and the Lin family said they would help her beg me."
But in the end, Grandma Lin never mentioned Lin Zhi from beginning to end, and Lin Yan also fell silent.
Lu Jinghuai didn't say anything else and held Lin Yan's hand tightly.
"Let's go home, Yaya is waiting for us."
it's all over.
